MPSI Project LAUNCH (Linking Actions for Unmet Needs in Children's Health) is dedicated to transforming the lives of young children from birth to age 8. Funded by a Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) grant, Wayne State University’s Merrill Palmer Skillman Institute (MPSI) is leading this movement to empower families, strengthen communities, and create a future where every child has the opportunity to succeed.
